Wooden Mala - Brown

In Eugene, Oregon, where life is more than just the passing of days, we at Katmandu Trading Company have something that speaks of older, deeper things - a Tibetan Mala.

This Tibetan Mala comes from Nepal. It's made from wood. Each one is 16 inches long. They're simple. But the kind of simple that's not easy to find. The kind of simple that has more to it than meets the eye.

The wood, it's from trees that have stood for years. The kind of trees that watch the world change. The artisans who make these Malas, they understand this. They carve each Tibetan Mala by hand. It's slow work. It's supposed to be. It’s about taking time to do something right. That's what these Malas are about.

They're for meditation. For Jaap. They’re for finding a bit of quiet in a loud world. The wood is smooth. It's been handled, shaped. It's real, like the mountains and valleys of Nepal where it comes from.

There aren't many of them. Things like this, they don't get made in large numbers. They're not rushed. They're made by people who know their craft. Who take their time. Who put something of themselves into what they're making. That's why they're special.

These Tibetan Malas are fair trade. That means something. It means the people who make them get treated fairly. They get paid well. They work in places that are good to work in. It's about respect. It's about doing things the right way. We believe in that at Katmandu Trading Company.

When you pick up one of these Malas, you feel its weight. It’s solid. It’s got substance. You run the beads through your fingers, one by one. It's calming. It brings you back to where you are. That's what a Tibetan Mala is for. To center you. To bring you back.

These Malas come from a place where they still do things the old way. Where they take their time. Where they make things that last. That's what these Malas are. They're from that place.

So, if you're in Eugene and you're looking for a Tibetan Mala, we have them. They're not just Malas. They're pieces of a larger world. A world that's older, slower. A world that's about doing things right.

Eugene is a good place for something like this. It’s quiet enough. You can sit with a Tibetan Mala in your hand. Feel each bead. Think about where it came from. About the hands that made it. It's a good place for that.
